In celebrating their longawaited reunification. we should take this opportunity to dedicate ourselves to a greater effort in behalf of those Americans still waiting for Soviet officials to permit their spouses and fiances to join them. In the case of my constituent Antonette Bohonovsky. Soviet officials have succeeded in blocking her marriage to tvgeniye Grigorishin. despite granting them permission to marry on two occasions. After refusing to issue a visa to her to enter the U.S.S.R. for the first wedding date. arresting her fiance en route to the marriage ceremony once she finally arrived. and committing her to a hospital for several days against her will. Soviet authorities put Ms. Bohonovsky on a plane out of the Soviet Union and convicted her fiance of stealing.
